If the Lakers win, we get Rockets/OKC and Lakers/Spurs aka the two best narrative matchups in the first round outside of maybe knicks/celtics. We'll get two good series and a chance to create stories.

If we get Jazz/Thunder, no one will watch that ish. OKC will murder them in 4 maybe 5 games, and that'll only be second to last in ratings when compared to hawks/pacers this season. How as NBA fans would you want that to happen? But not gonna lie, Spurs/Rockets would be a pretty entertaining, but that'll still have low viewership.

It's sad really, their hate for the Lakers is really that strong in fact, I know of a guy on this other basketball forum who never reps any team and hates on the Lakers all the time started repping Utah. Pheg ****s.

Nobody wants to watch the Lakers now that Kobe hurt. It would make for better stories and more ratings but I care about neither team so its whatever. I just get sick of Laker fans and espn talking bout the Lakers 24/7
